Hi,
I am always having a look at the forum thinking on buying a second pc as a render node, but for one reason or another I never actually do it.
Instead of buying a render node, I was thinking if it wouldn´t be wise to upgrade my current workstation. I am using an i5 2500k with TZ68+. I know that my mobo can take up to a i7 3770 if I update the bios, so I was considering getting an i7 while I can still get the ivy bridge around.
I believe I can sell my used cpu for aprox. U$S 140, and would have to add an extra U$S 145 for the 3770.
What do you think, should I update my workstation, or wait and eventually buy a render node?
